It’s all about getting big! However, with so many fitness gurus, potions and lotions, diet plans and workouts out there, what works and what doesn’t? There have been a number of news items out in the field lately with new developments, new programs and new ideas. The good thing is that all of them work. The downside is that it means you have to review them and decide which one works best for you as an individual. A lot of it, in other words, is down to personal choice.
Facts about Muscle Building
However, before you start anything new, you should learn some of the facts about muscle building. Facts, by definition, are set in stone so they apply to any program that is out there. Fact one is that you should use both strength-endurance and explosive movements to build muscle. Secondly, according to Men’s Fitness.
“Physiologically, there is no such thing as long, lean muscle tissue or big, bulky muscle tissue. A muscle either grows or does not.”
This means men and women can do the same workout. Third, routines should work on lagging body parts. The fourth fact is that you have to have days of rest in order to grow properly. Lastly, genetic factors play a role on how big you can get, but the genetic limit is generally very high.
Monster Mass
Take Monster Mass, for instance. This is Mike Chang’s latest workout program. The claim is that this is an intense program so that men can become truly ripped and big. We know we can trust Mike Chang because he has been in the field for years. He is the brains (and body) behind Six Pack Shortcuts. Of course, Mike Chang himself is a true muscle man. MonsterMassReview’s Stan Stevenson reported:
“This is not simply a workout program but a complete system that encompasses everything men need to gain the muscle growth they need. This includes nutrition and diet, mindset and the coaching they need to continue on their journey: the journey to get bigger, leaner and fitter each and every day.”
Soy Dairy Blend for Muscle Building
The latest scientific development in muscle building is based around a soy dairy blend. According to EmaxHealth.
“The new study, published in The Journal of Nutrition, shows proteins from soy combined with the dairy proteins whey and casein extend amino acid delivery to the muscles to prolong protein synthesis needed for strong muscles.”
The results of the study clearly show that blending the soy and the dairy protein, muscle synthesis is stimulated far better during the recovery period after a workout. It also showed to continue to work late into the post-exercise period. Compared to a single protein treatment, the soy-dairy protein is far superior. Too many bodybuilders use only whey protein, which is actually only designed to increase the synthesis in the muscle during rest and up to the early recovery period. The combination protein, however, continues to work, which shows it is far superior. This has significant implications for active adults of all ages. When we age, maintaining our muscle mass can ensure we are healthier, with fewer disabilities. Furthermore, it will increase the quality of life. Since the Baby Boomers are now starting to age, this has the potential to really improve their lives. We know that proteins from milk, eggs, whey and beef help us to build really lean and strong muscles. However, this new study, which is one of a kind, has demonstrated that blending soy and dairy extends the rate of delivery of amino acids after a good muscle building workout.
